[edit] Pennsylvania State Route 28

I noticed that you copied the text of the article direct from the source you linked to. Do you own the copyright to the other site? If not, that could be a copyright infringement. ...Scott⁵¹¹⁴ 18:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Good job making it into a stub - I'm flagging it with {{road-stub}} (for other stub templates see WP:WSS). If you want to expand it, use that first source, as well as others on the Internet and in print to add information.

What I did when I expanded the Kansas Turnpike article was to go though Google and also brochures, pamphlets, maps, etc. and look for interesting, unusual information. As I found it I added the essence of it (not word-for-word) to a bulleted list (jotting down where I got it from). After I thought I had enough info I worked each little note in with the others. I found that just having the main interesting points of each source kept me from copying it too closely, and also allowed me to work everything in easier. Then it was just a matter of including the sources using <ref> tags....Scott⁵¹¹⁴ 01:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
